Rating:  Summary: A Rare Miss for Roberts Review: I am a huge Nora Roberts fan. But I have to say it, in Cordina's Crown Jewel she misses the mark. In Delaney Caine she has created her first uninteresting, unattractive, just plain boringly predictable male. His character and motivations never gel. I say skip this one, and head on over to her excellent Eve Dallas series (written under the pseudonym of J.D. Robb). Following those characters through 13 (and counting) books is definitely never boring, and each one gets better and better as the characters and their relationships solidify. Don't waste valuable reading time with Cordina's Crown Jewel; this is the only Nora Roberts I'm going to give away.
Rating:  Summary: This book deserves 10 stars Review: I can't believe this book only got 4 stars. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It is only 241 pages. One you can read in a day or two. Del and Camilla were characters you fall in love with. I hated to see this book end. Buy it, you won't be sorry. This one is a keeper.

Rating:  Summary: Another "delight" from Nora Roberts Review: I have never been disappointed in a Nora Roberts book. She consitently delights. Cordina's Crown Jewel is a lovely if consistent story of the princess and the commoner, who isn't exactly a commoner. Delaney is a young crudmugeon and Camilla is the one to show him his noble and romantic side. A true romance Robert's style.
Rating:  Summary: Roman oliday Remake Review: I have read this book. Ireally enjoyed it, especially the scenario of a member of aroyal family who runs away to America and meets the man/woman of his/her dreams. That's what I call a remake of Roman Holiday. Nora Roberts writes great love stories.
Rating:  Summary: Great Read Review: I loved this book all the way done to the end and I was able to relate to Camilla needing some time to herself and founding out who she is and add in a cute guy to help her out you can't go wrong with that combination. I recommand this book to any Nora Robert's fan also: River's End and True Betrayals
Rating:  Summary: Absolutely Wonderful Review: I loved this book. I couldn't put it down once I started reading it. I read the whole book in a day. Of course, my husband had to cook lunch and dinner because I was too caught up in my book to bother with meals. It's a lighter read than most of her books. I loved it.
Rating:  Summary: Excellent Read!! Review: I loved this book. I received it as a birthday present and could not put it down the following Sunday when I started reading it. I had to run errands that day and was literally rushing my boyfriend so that I could return home and finish it. The characters were developed so much that you fell in love with both of them and as you turned the pages of the book and it came closer and closer to the end, I actually started slowing down to prolong the book because I didn't want it to end. The only complaint I have is that the ending seemed a little disjointed, but because it was such a good read going into it, it didn't really matter.
Rating:  Summary: Not Roman Holiday Review: Nora has always been hit or miss for me. I love some of her books, and in others the characters are too one dimensional to me, the plot isn't interesting, so I don't enjoy the books. This was a great exception! I loved both characters! The princess gets stranded on the side of the road during a storm in Vermont on her path to self discovery and who should rescue her but a knight in shining armor! Not! More like an unshaven, grumpy man in a white charger. He very reluctantly helped her. Del didn't want her in the way of his work and cabin, and wouldn't admit, though he convinces her to stay, when he discovers Camilla was really a great help to him since he was injured and only had one useful hand. His rudeness and sarcasm had me rolling all over the floor. Camilla was great, smart, eager to learn, always gracious and dismissing, sometimes even humoring, his sarcasm, at times even grateful it wasn't the groveling that she was used to. Their conversations were hilarious! When he opened his heart her I almost cried at how hard he tried to be romantic and how he worried when she was gone too long. He loved her without knowing her rank in society. They both had pride, though. That infuriated me! After the truth about her rank came out, his pride was hurt that she didn't trust him enough to be honest, and her pride wouldn't wait until he settled down to work things out. You'll see how things work things out in the end. You see, she wasn't the only one who held a noble title. Interesting! Read this book.
Rating:  Summary: Captivating Tale Review: Nora Roberts continues to delight her readers with another of her well written love stories. Mss. Roberts is an inspiration to all with book after book of multi-facated characters and varied plots. Looking forward to reading more from this talented author.
